There might in fact be some anxiety, but it's probably more centered around myself than my child's abilities.  I try not to be an overly obsessive parent and so while we work on (what I assume are) some enriching things at home, I try not to push too hard if it seems all is going well.  On the other hand I don't want to let my kid down if I should perhaps be doing a bit more to meet DCs potential.  Sadly, I haven't gotten much from previous teacher conferences, other than "child is doing great, no concerns".  Hard to know if this "great" report is because DC is not a struggling child, or is actually excelling.  This test was eye opening.  Again, I'm not freaking out about it, but just want to understand what it means.  It sounds like 100 may be the average score, which would set my mind at ease.  Before this thread, I wasn't sure if it was perhaps an unusually low score, which is what raised a flag for me.[/quote]

If you don't have any concerns (other than the worry that maybe you should be having concerns), and the teachers all say that there are no concerns, then maybe that's because there is nothing to be concerned about.[/quote]

That may be.  In fact that's what I'm hoping to hear.  I just didn't know if the test scores were inconsistent with an otherwise well-performing kid.[/quote]
